Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an apparatus and method for creating a venturi effect within an orifice.
  • FR 2657489 describes a device such as a plasma generator with sequential flow of fluids.
  • GB 869383 describes a method and means for producing a gaseous heat carrier wherein the burner is supplied with air by a pipe and with oil or gas by a pipe, the combustion chamber is spherical and has an outlet for the combustion gases.
  • CN 2890712 describes a power-less indoor air purifier comprising a cleaning cartridge and a shell, wherein the cleaning cartridge comprises a wind inlet trapping mouth, an air passage pipe and a venturi tube which are on the same axial ray.
  • US 4356595 describes a food patty molding method and apparatus, utilizing a cyclically driven mold plate containing one or more mold cavities, in which the fill passage connecting the food pump to the mold cavity has a cross sectional area, immediately adjacent the mold plate fill position, encompassing the entire mold cavity surface area.
  • the present invention relates to an apparatus and method for creating a venturi effect as defined in the appended claims. It is an object of the present invention for the apparatus and method to be used with solids, liquids and gases. It is an object of the present invention for the venturi effect to increase acceleration of a product, and decrease pressure of a product. It is an object of the present invention for the venturi effect to decrease acceleration and increase pressure. It is an object of the present invention for the venturi effect to be created by an orifice.
  • the venturi effect can be created within a pipe. It is an object of the present invention for the venturi effect of the orifice to stretch and align fibers of a product. It is an object of the present invention for a hole or orifice to change size from a larger to a smaller diameter. Optionally, the sides have a sharp edge.
  • the principle has design similarities to a venturi. It is referred to as a nozzle, venturi, orifice, or a restriction to flow which results in product acceleration with a corresponding pressure drop through the orifice.
  • a venturi allows a smooth transition from a larger orifice to a smaller one. This transition minimizes flow transitions and thereby reduces restrictions in the system. The transition minimizes energy loss and supports fiber alignment.
  • Air flow can be accelerated by using a system which will reduce the cylinder size.
  • venturi nozzle The typical way of accomplishing this is the use of a venturi nozzle.
  • a venturi requires a gradual area reduction and a finite length throat. Given the restrictions in the thickness in most mechanical pieces, it is not feasible to put a venturi in such a piece of equipment.
  • the air can achieve acceleration by intersecting a cylinder with a sphere of a larger diameter.
  • the spherical cut creates equal pressure in all directions.
  • the spherical hemisphere or curved structure to have a diameter ratio to a diameter ratio of a connected cylindrical portion which is no greater than the choke flow for the liquid gas or solid used.
  • the diameter of the spherical hemisphere to be greater than the diameter of the connected cylindrical portion.
  • the spherical hemisphere has a diameter between 1.1 to 2.5 times greater than a cylindrical portion which intersects the same. It is preferred to have a sharper edge from the edge to the hole.
  • One example of the present invention is to use the venturi effect in holes within a breather plate of a meat patty machine.
  • the breather plate includes at least one air pressure release passage, wherein a plurality of small breather holes enable the cavities of the mold plate to fluidly communicate with the passage.
  • the air passage enables air in the cavities to escape as the machine pumps the cavities full of meat.
  • the holes are cylindrical and vary in number of holes and diameters.
  • a further example of the use of the holes having the venturi effect is a grinder plate or orifice plate of a grinding machine.
  • Use of the grinder plate having the orifices of the present invention improves fiber alignment.
  • a further example of the use of the orifices having the venturi effect is a fill plate which has fill orifices to define paths through the fill plate, wherein some of the paths each have a path portion obliquely angled or perpendicular to the fill side of the mold plate.
  • the paths comprise spherical intersections or, in an example not forming part of the present invention, a curved structure.
  • the side of the fill plate which is in contact with the stripper plate comprises a spherical hemisphere or curved structure which has a diameter which is no greater than the choke flow for the liquid gas or solid used and is no less than the diameter of the connected cylindrical portion., and intersects the top of the mold plate perpendicularly or at an angle of less than or equal to about +/-75 degrees, or about +/- 45 degrees in a preferred embodiment as measured from vertical in the longitudinal direction of the mold plate.
  • a "venturi" condition is created.
  • Irregular shapes do not have diameters, but they do have areas. For a given ratio of a linear item, the ratio becomes the square of the linear ratio. For curved and irregular shapes, the ratio of the initial area and the reduced area is from approximately 1.2 to 6.25.
